Predictions

Bath win
Gloucester win bonus point
Newcastle win
London Irish win
Saracens win bonus point
Leicester win bonus point

Bath all-round game will be to much for Sale to handle. Gloucester will brush aside a spirited but limited Worcester. Newcastle will have to fight all the way but will come through with a narrow win. Bristol will not have enough to cope with the expansive Irish game, though it will be a close call. Saracens will build on the narrow loss last week and Leeds will suffer unable to live with their expansive game. Leicester will totally out class this struggling Wasps.
